BATTERY
Your tractor has a battery charging system which is suffi-
cient for normal use. However, periodic charging of the
baffery with an automotive charger will extend its life.

NOTE; Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Checkyour engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oilo
Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and
every 25 hours thereafter or at least once a year if the
tractor is riot used for 25 hours in one year.
